पुराणम्
English
तुहुण्ड / TUHUṆḌA. A demon. This demon was born to kaśyapa of his wife danu. (Chapter 65, Ādi Parva).
Accompanied by tārakāsura this demon once attacked subrahmaṇya. tuhuṇḍa threw an iron mace against gaṇapati who blocked his chariot. By a single stone of gaṇapati, the diamond-studded mace of the demon broke into six pieces. When he found his mace gone the demon caught hold of gaṇapati and beat him with a spiked club on his forehead. gaṇapati cut him with his weapon (Axe) ‘Veṇmazhu’. The demon fell to the ground in two pieces but still his hold on gaṇapati was not released. gaṇapati tried his best but could not loosen the hold. Then kuṇḍodara, a leader of the attendants of gaṇapati smashed the hands of tuhuṇḍa with an iron mace. tuhuṇḍa was killed thus. (Chapter 65, vāyu purāṇa).
This tuhuṇḍa was born in his next life in the world as a King called senābindu. (Śloka 19, Chapter 67, Ādi Parva).
